The same reasoning argues even more strongly against imposing a single GHG standard on coal boilers and natural gas turbines.

In short, the EPA has proposed a standard no economical coal plant can meet.

The proposal lumps gas turbines and coal boilers into the same source category, and it holds coal power plants to a CO2 performance standard that nearly all natural gas combined cycle plants and exactly zero commercial coal power plants can meet.

The government will also introduce an Emissions Performance Standard, designed to prevent the construction of new, dirty coal plants.

Another new policy, the emissions performance standard, currently moving through parliament, will prevent any new coal-fired stations being built in the UK that are not equipped with technology to capture and store carbon emissions.

While Environmental Protection Agency clean air regulations such as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS) can explain some of the future expected displacement of coal by natural gas, shale gas economics is a significant reason for the displacement.

International, realized that standard measurements for sources of energy barrels of oil, tons of coal, gallons of gas, British thermal units were nearly impossible to compare.
NEWYORKER: The Climate Fixers

Because producing a requisite amount of electricity from gas results in estimate about 50% of the carbon dioxide for the same coal-based electricity, the only way to meet the proposed standard is to capture the outgoing carbon dioxide, pipe it somewhere, and bury it.
FORBES: Guided By Questionable Science, The EPA Seeks To "Necessarily Bankrupt" The People

We honestly believe, as do most analysts, that it's not too long into the future before the price curves of technologies like standard photovoltaic solar and some upcoming breakthroughs are at cost parity with conventionally -- like, coal-burning-generated electricity.
